Reading v Aston Villa - Match Thread

[ciggiesnbeer]

Jesus. Under the cosh from Reading. Bruce sodding out. Even if we manage to win by squeaking a goal by a miracle. The guy needs to go.

I bet that was our good half.

[gpbarr]

45 mins to save his job

[The Edge]

Still, the half time cocoa and a nap should help.

I'm so sick of this shit.

Here's a stat from Twitter, not sure if it's entirely correct of course:

Passes made:

Reading 246
Villa 23

23 passes in 45 minutes.

That should be room for dismissal

[Villa in Denmark]

Almost reached the heady level of 'average' in the last 5 mins

I'd have said mediocre personally.  They're still a couple of levels away from average.

[Goldie.7]

We'll file that half with the many others in the absolute shite section.

[Legion]

I can't wait to see our good half. Some time in 2018.

[Pete3206]

Bruce out!

Now!

[CT Villan]

You're all being a little unfair...I've seen a number of quality back-passes from the halfway line   

[AlexAlexCropley]

It's like tertiary piles,and you refuse surgery to relieve it.

It's not actually true. I think they've confused the stats for our long passes with the figure for all our passes.

OS
"0-0 Aston Villa – Goalless at the break. 3⃣ points still very much up for grabs here at the Madejski Stadium…"

LOL!!!

Thoughts from the away end.
First 15 we were solid, 1 shot on target, then Reading had a good spell 4 or 5 corners in quick time and a few good chances. We are defending way too deep already, 11 behind the ball at a corner for fucks sake.
Bjarnasson is a liability and gets muscled off the ball like an U14B player.
Something needs to change second half.
